Hi, my name is Rigo, I’m from Cuba. I’m a translator and I’m a member of SKETCH LIKE THE PROS course.
You could say that I am the classical example of the guy that used to be good at drawing when I was a student.
However, as I grow older, life kind of gets me far from having anything to do with drawing. So it kind of became a forgotten childhood hobby.
However, last year I found myself with more spare time. And I returned to drawing again. Also last year, I discovered the Design Sketchbook blog. I was very attracted by the tips shared by Chou-Tac.
So, when I learned about Sketch Like The Pros course, I didn’t think twice for the reasons that are really important to me.
First of all, when you want to develop a certain skill, one of the things I would be going to do is of course is to get to the older material, download a lot of tutorials, buy a lot of books, and that simply fine. However, at least in my experience, most of the tutorials are high-speed videos. And you have the feeling you are losing the natural flow of the process. And the very same thing happened with the books. It doesn’t matter how good they are if you are just paying attention to the images. At some point, you are going to find yourself lost.
Wait! How do we go from this point to there?
So in the case of SKETCH LIKE THE PROS course,
One of the things I love the most is the pace of the videos.
You are going to have a very nice pace of videos, so you can learn step-by-step. You can have a very solid foundation.
As the difficulty level increases, Chou-Tac will be focusing on the do’s and don’ts - so you will have a very good understanding of what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong.
Not only the pace of the explanation is good, but also the way the videos are presented is great. Having 1 or a few videos every week gives you enough time to absorb, to digest all the knowledge that you are presented with. But also it will give you enough time to practice.
I would say that wether than feeling pressured, you are going to feel motivated.
It is important to stress out that you can download all the videos. So you can return to them whenever you want.
Also, 1 thing that is important to me is Chou-Tac is very articulate. He’s very easygoing, and he’s very encouraging. You are going to feel that you can really achieve the goal that you want. You certainly can do that.
At some point, you are going to feel that more than being an instructor, he’s a close friend of yours. I’m working in the field of graphic design. I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but I am a translator.
Even in the field of humanities, if I want to express an idea n a more attractive way, I have found myself able to express ideas through what I have learned in SKETCH LIKE THE PROS course.
Even though I’m really far from the level of professionals, my family and friends have noticed how much I have improved my sketching skills. Actually, they have encouraging me to become an illustrator or a manga artist.
Even if I have grown my confidence, my curiosity, I am kind of an introvert, this course has helped me get out of my comfort zone. Now, I’m more like an expressionist on what I do, and experimenting with things that I didn’t dare to do before enrolled SKETCH LIKE THE PROS course.
All I have to say right now is: Thank you very much Chou-Tac. I’m very happy to be part of this community.
Cheers everybody. Stay safe.
